CBP Sets New January Date for Automation of UFLPA Detention Process
August 30, 2023 |Customs

CBP now plans on deploying its automation of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act detention process in January, according to the agency’s most recent ACE development and deployment schedule, released Aug. 30. The entry for “Automation of CBP Form 6051D for Detentions of Cargo Filed in ACE, including Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) Detentions” had previously been listed with a deployment date as TBD, after CBP delayed the deployment this past May (see 2305090071). CBP has said the capability would create an automated process for UFLPA admissibility reviews and exception requests.
